This is the sort of post that happen when free WiFi hotspots are installed in trailer parks.

What did Marc say in Parc Ferme? He said he could see the future and knows he wont have any issues for the rest of the championship?

I saw a number expressing frustration when the red flag came out.

How did you determine that they all unanimously agreed with it?

And this is what happens when a rossi ... kisser gets faced with the FACTS!!

For the record, I don't know what a trailer park looks like. Never lived in one. Also don't know what free WiFi is. I've been paying for internet since al gore claimed he invented it. But it's OK that you have had those type of life experiences. I don't discriminate & judge. I guess it could happened to anyone of us. I like to play it safe and insure my life goes in a more comfortable direction.

Is true, the rain was so heavy the tyres couldn't shift the water fast enough, all the riders unanimously agreed with the red flag so that in itself debunks the conspiracy theory straight away.

There was a death at the previous round!! Race Direction was looking at a flooded track and 3 crashes within a short span of time. They could sit and do nothing "well, the riders aren't putting their hand up so everything must be good", but had a serious accident occurred the blame that would've been placed on them is immense.

You're so obsessed with Rossi hate, you think every single decision made in MotoGP is based on Rossi. Race Direction isn't as obsessed with Rossi as YOU ARE!!

The restart did make the race more dangerous, but RD had to make a judgement call based on what they thought was a safety issue. They don't care where Rossi finishes.

Listen, if Marc does win the championship he will deserve it. Thus far he has ridden intelligently and has made the least amount of mistakes. He has been the only rider that can ride the RCV (probably because it's being developed only for him). But there's still a second half of the championship that has to be run and his points lead isn't that big.

If they were so concerned about safety, why was Rossi not removed from the track in the first race for not having his rain light on

All motorcycles must have a functioning red light mounted at the rear of
the machine to be used in rain or low visibility conditions as instructed
by Race Direction. The team must ensure that the light is switched on
whenever a rain tyre is fitted on the motorcycle.

That is a black flag offense to come in and have light made operable before being released back onto the track

According to kropo if it's a technical fault there's no penalty, there was so much rain it could simply have shorted, I'm sure they would have switched it on before the race started.

I don't know when they noticed his light wasn't on. It wasn't pointed out during the broadcast until after the red flag.

JPSLotus said:

Because it's Rossi, it wouldn't make a difference if there was no technical fault.

Different rules for him.

I think thats the point that being made, RD doesnt notice infractions made by certain people and makes decisions based on the quality of the show. It is not beyond them to ignore instances such as this to avoid the backlash from the most popular riders psychotic fan base and keep his championship afloat. I mean lets get real, they basically admitted last year that this was their thinking when they didnt instantly remove Rossi from the track at Sepang

Has anyone gone back to view the start of the race to see if Rossi's light was on? If it was a technical fault and Rossi was black flagged, they cannot undo that penalty. A reasonable person would assume it was some sort of technical fault since there's no reason for Rossi to purposely want it off. They made it sound during the broadcast that the light should come on automatically when the rider switches to one of the wet engine maps.
